In this episode, we dive deep into the causes and effects of worry and share insights on how you can conquer it. This podcast series features vibrant conversations meant to equip, encourage, and enlighten you. We explore biblical teachings and provide practical tips to help you live the abundant life God has planned for you.
In highlighting humanity's natural inclination towards worry, we dive deep into foundational scripture from Matthew Chapter 6 where Jesus Christ cautions against worry. He emphasizes on not worrying about life, what one eats or drinks, or even what to wear. These are basic needs, essential for survival, yet He asserts that we should strive for His kingdom and righteousness above all else and these necessities will be given unto us as well.
An in-depth understanding of why we worry, the triggers, and its impact is crucial to overcoming it. Physiological needs, social comparisons through platforms like social media, fear of being left out, and information overload are some major contributors to worry in our society today. Worry doesn't positively change anything, we can tackle it by being proactive, adjusting our social media consumption and being wary of information overload. Ultimately, worry is a detriment to our progress and living a life of abundance.
Jesus says, "Don't worry about life, live it with confidence, focus on the good, and embrace the faith that God takes care of you." Remember, the Master is saying, "Do not worry."

We are still discussing the "Laws of Words." These laws highlight the creative force of words, how they can give life or bring about death, and most importantly, in today's broadcast we focus on how God pays attention to the words that we speak and acts on them. This is because human beings are the only species that have been gifted with the power of words, and God, is interested in how we use this gift.
In our exploration, we traverse scriptures supporting the idea of God being attentive to our words, like Malachi chapter 3, verse 16, and Numbers chapter 14, verse 28. We understand that God not only listens to our conversations but reacts to them.
We are encouraged to use words wisely, only speaking things that we would want to manifest in reality. Based on these discussions and the teachings from scriptures, we underline that God is keenly interested in how we deploy our words.
God bless you. May you use your words wisely, invoking them for your benefit and the benefit of humanity at large.
